On the track
I am thinking of upgrading a Macbook from 512gb to 2gb (2X1gb) but what is the best kind of RAM to buy? I know what ram I need to fit, but what brand is the best for a Macbook. The only two I've really seen so far is Mushkin and Corsair. Can anybody tell me which is better or if it will even make a difference?

This are the two kits I'm thinking about:

Thanks,

I have a macbook, and I installed the exact same corsair ram in it just two months ago. It has done wonders with the way my book runs. I love it. Seems like good ram to me. I am not familiar with the other one. Hope this will help a little.

Mushkin and Corsair are both good brands. In your case, I'd probably go with the Mushkin, just based on price.
